In a virtual awards ceremony, Ashton Sixth Form College won the award for Independent Learning at the SFCA’s.

Last week, Ashton Sixth Form College was shortlisted for 3 awards at the Sixth Form Colleges Association Annual Awards 2020. The 3 awards the college was shortlisted for included the Community Impact Award, Independent Learning Award and Social Mobility Award.

Ashton Sixth Form College successfully took home the prize for the 'Independent Learning Award' category. In addition, the college were positioned as the runners up with "honourable mentions" in the 'Community Impact' and 'Social Mobility' categories. The Independent Learning Award recognises the college that: 

"led or initiated an exceptional programme of, or a specific activity relating to, independent learning, linked to the taught curriculum and preparing students for university and the workplace." (SFCA)

While the college continues it's digital approach to learning in the current climate, it is fantastic to be able to continue to celebrate the amazing achievements of both staff and students. This award follows Ashton Sixth Form College's 'Outstanding' status, recognised by Ofsted earlier in 2020.
